At next week’s NAFB convention you’ll have a chance to support the NAFB Foundation with their annual auction. They’ve got a lot of items already donated like this Terry Redlin print (donated by Ron Claussen). Here’s some information about it:
This print was created in 1980. It is number 837 of 2400.
Initially, this print was sold exclusively through Ducks Unlimited banquets. I purchased this one in 1981. At that time, because of its popularity, “Morning Retreat” became the single biggest fund raiser in the history of DU. This is the print that prompted Terry Redlin’s national recognition.
Obviously, since it is an original limited edition print, seldom is it available for purchase. Unframed limited artist proofs are available from the Redlin Art Center (www.redlinart.com) for $3,975. Sadly, due to a rapidly advancing illness, Terry Redlin has had to retire. There will be no more ‘original Redlins’.
Ron just had the print framed for the auction which will take place at 5:30pm on Thursday, November 13 during the 2008 NAFB Convention.
Cindy and I will be there in KC, MO and hope to see you. AgWired coverage of the NAFB Convention is being sponsored by DTN/The Progressive Farmer.
